The Haberman Educational Foundation, Inc. is a not-for- profit 501 (c) (3) based in Houston, TX and was chartered in 1994 to promote and disseminate the research of Dr. Martin Haberman. The unified and single goal of HEF is to teach and implement research-based models for identifying teachers and principals, particularly educators who serve students at-risk and in poverty. To that end and for 50 years, Dr. Martin Haberman developed, researched, refined and replicated research in the area of teacher interviewing and selection, principal interviewing and selection, and the development of alternative certification programs. The Star Teacher/Star Principal Interviews are based on the behaviors, characteristics, and beliefs of teachers and principals nationwide shown to be unequivocally successful with students at risk.
